INFINITE DC GA Humor Thread

[shiverbones]

Alright, lets see those underappreciated humor books from DC! I'll start off with a few...

 

Animal Antics #10 with a GREAT Howie Post cover

 

[shiverbones]

The violence on this cover is WAAAAAAAYYYYYY Too Extreme

 

Peter Porkchops #3

 

[shiverbones]

Early Fox & Crow book from 1946

 

Real Screen Comics #7

 

[shiverbones]

listed as Classic Cover & Scarce in Overstreet. One of my Fave 50's covers

 

Peter Panda #5

 

[shiverbones]

Ist App. of Spylot Bones, Nero Fox, King Oscar, Pelican Pete, Hugo Hornspred, and Frankie & Franny Flipper. Pshwew! I love the description on the cover "They Walk! they talk! They're just like humans, but they're all animals - And they're a riot" As if Funny Animal Books hadn't already been around for 5 years, and cartoons even longer

 

Leading Comics #15

 

[shiverbones]

1st Nero Fox cover

 

Leading Comics #16

 

[shiverbones]

Scarce issue for sure, but the easiest of the 4 issues to find....

 

It's gametime #1

 

[shiverbones]

In my opinion the hardest of the 4 to find, even though Overstreet lists it as scarce & #4 as rare. One of Ian's final 70...

 

It's Gametime #3

[shiverbones]

Final Issue of the Run & a Nightmare to find!

 

Nutsy Squirrrel #72

 

[shiverbones]

Last one for now...

 

A GREAT Cover, and luckily one of the easiest funny stuffs to find...

I didn't realize Kelly did covers for DC - cool stuff, I'd love to see more!

 

Did Sheldon Mayer write any of the Nutsy Squirrel stories or just draw them?

[shiverbones]

The Animal Antics is Howie Post, even though it looks a lot like Kelly. I thought it was kelly when I saw a small picture of it at first. Nutsy was drawn by Rube Grossman for most of the run, if not the whole run. I am unsure who wrote it. I always assumed that was Grossman too?

I must have these.

1st Nero Fox cover

 

Leading Comics #16

 

 

"The jive-jumping emperor of ancient Rome."

 

You're going to get me hooked on GA DC humor. Aren't you?

[shiverbones]

Noooo, these books are terrible. I am posting them so you know what to avoid...

 

Yeah I love the "Jive Jumping" reference as a fan of Cab Calloway, Slim Gaillard & Be-bop

Ah, after perusing Overstreet, I see they clearly attribute the cover to Post - I'm only familiar with his 60s stuff (like Anthro) - which looks very different.

 

So did Mayer do another character in the book? - Overstreet list him as an artist in most issues, but doesn't specify the strip. My favorite Mayer strip is Scribbly (the early ones reprinted in the Smithsonian book), but have fond childhood memories of Sugar & Spike as well as a Three Mouseketeers reprint. I'd love to see DC put out a Scribbly Archives.
